STAMPED, sd. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. " Letters just receir:. Ting the gratifying intelligence that up to the 14th inst. all was well. " There is again a rumour in Bombay that the directors of the Bombay have resolved to increase the capital of the bank. Mr. Reed's experimented ship Enterprise, in basin at Woolwich, got up steam on Saturday for the trial of her engines, by Messrs. Ravenbill and Co., of 160 horse power. The trial was preliminary, the vessel proceeding to the measured mile this morning or to-morrow. Every branch of the machinery worked softly and without showing any indications of heat or undue friction. "According to the Times of India, the arrange ments for opening the Bombay, 8.-.roda, and Central India Railway to Surat will be completed. by the Ist of April. "The steamer Carnatie, with the London mails to the 26th of January, has arrived at Galle, in wards by which we have telegraphic news to that date. The Sultan's iron yacht, which has been lying at Wool wich during the past fortnight, sailed for Constantinnple ou Friday last, having received a crew of various nations from the Sailors Home in London. Mr. Comyn, an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve, is in command of the yacht, and Mr. Harms, an English engineer, is in chief charge of the engines, and will probably remain in the permanent aorvico of the Turkish Government. The Irresistible, 67, 400 horse power, fitting for the Coastguard service at Southampton, has been removed out of the great basin into the Medway, and on Saturday shipped her main deck guns, consisting of 24 32-pounders, which were sent from Chatham by the War Department transport Marlborough. In accordance with the orders of the Admiralty, seven of the improved gunboats, from the designs of Mr. Reed, are to be immediately commenced at Chatham, Portsmouth, Devonport, and Woolwich dockyards. They are to be called steam launches, and aro to be completed with as much de spatch as the resources of the several dockyards will permit. The Adventure, screw troopship, Capt. C. L. Waddilove, remains at anchor at Spithead, the present orders being that she is to remain there until about the 12th proximo. If no fresh case of smallpox appears there among her crew she will proceed to Dover, and embark there a battery of garri son artillery, and a detachment of the 2d battalion of the 20th Regiment. From Dover she will proceed to Plymouth and there take on board the troops and naval supernumera ries conveyed to that port from Portsmouth in the Hima laya. She will then start on her China voyage. Statements have been made in connection with this ship, regarding the prevalence of small-pox at Portsmouth, which are ex aggerations. Small-pox is prevalent to a certain extent in some of the most crowded portions of Portsmouth and its suburbs, as it is just now in many other towns, but there is no foundation for the statement that there are crowds of people waiting at the doors of medical men for vaccination, &e. The disease made its appearance on board the Adven ture, and as a simple matter of precaution her voyage to China has been delayed, the cases having in the meantime been removed to hospital, a number of her crew vaccinated, and the ship thoroughly fumigated and cleansed. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Charles Wake, went out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Saturday, and com menced taking on board her powder and shell, preparatory to sailing on foreign service. The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 5, Commander Gor don, from the eastward, arrived on Saturday in Plymouth Sound, where she filled up with coal from the hulk Lavinia, preparatory to the sailing for the West Coast of Africa. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, from Portsmouth, arrived on Friday at Plymouth, and landed at the Royal William Victualling-yard the troops destined to proceed to China in the Adventure. The seamen supernumeraries which came from Portsmouth were transferred to the Royal Adelaide, and on Saturday the Himalaya proceeded to moorings outside Keyham Steam-yard, into which she will be taken for the purpose of being docked and repaired. The Royal George, 78, at Devonport, will be commissioned on the Ist of April proximo by :he officers and crew of the Ajax, 60. In accordance with instructions to that effect received from the Admiralty, every exertion is being used to com plete the Terrible, 22, 800-horse power, for the first divi sion of the Chatham Steam Reserve, as she will shortly be required for commission. The Terrible is the largest of the paddlewheel steamers in the British navy, and was built under the superintendence of Mr. 0. W. Lang, late the master-shipwright at Chatham dockyard. During the time she has been in dock, a period of several months, she has undergone such extensive repairs as to make her alMost a aew vessel. She is intended for service in the Mediter " Owin3 to the intervention of only one day, a.a that a Sunday, between the desp % t c h of our over- I c a o n m d m e e d r i c t i i a o i n n s e t w •ia s i ß o u re lb lr :t d y : a , a nd " Gall e, 'we have La CHINA.

" The past fortnight has been. marked by no pro minent incidents, but the slow current of events is not without significance. That portion of the pro vince of Kiangsn which is south of the Ye.ng.:tsze, and which includes Nanking in the east and Shang hai in the west, is, over half its extent, again under the sway of the Imperialists. " From Pekin we have no news, the cold weather having closed up the usual access to the capital. " From Japan the news wears a decidedly pacific aspect. Ambassadors are again on the point of setting out for Europe, a fact which may of itself be accepted as a guarantee against hostilities for some time to come. The Prussian treaty has at length been ratified, and the Swiss are said to have obtained a treaty. The American Minister has procured several important tariff reductions, and the French Minister has availed himself of the same privilege.

"Imports.—The pressure in the money market last reported appeared to increase as the day of settlement, China new year, approached, keeping all Chinese dealers out of the market. The decline in exchange has not led to any further speculative purchases, and the few sales that have been effected are principally forced ; but now that the holidays are over a better demand and improved prices may be looked for. The transactions in English manu factures have been exceedingly small, and prices cannot be said to have varied from our last. Ameri can goods have not been in demand, but stocks are considerably increased. In metals tinplated have been inquired for at quotations, bat metals gene rally are dull; quotations unchanged. Nothing has been done in rice ; but, as stocks are very email, both an edvanco in price and an active demand may soon be looked for. Sugar has participated in the general dullness; the few sales made have been at our quotations. Coals—Sydney has been in demand (Y.hcr qualities generally inactive." Two More Shocking Deaths from Excessive Drinking, On Saturday Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesioa coroner, held an inquiry touching the death of James Hooper, aged 47 years. Henry Sayer, 5, Anchor-alley, St. George's•in-the-East, said that the deceased was a mariner. On Wednesday week he returned from Melbourne, Australia, in the ship Sussex. Upon his arrival in the East India Docks the deceased re ceived .CIU. He spent the whole week walking about the tercets from public•house to public-house drinking rum. During the whole of that time he had not been sober for a single hour. Oa last Tuesday night two men brought him home to witness's house drunk. He had not even a half penny left out of the Ll.O. Deceased was what was called a " quiet soaker"—he used to drink by himselt, and never ask any one to join him. During the night ho kept calling out, " Give me more rum ; I want more rum, more rum." In the morning he suddenly pulled the clothes over his bead, fell forward, and died. Witness had offered him coffee, but he declined it. Dr. Brookes deposed that the death of the deceased arose from effusion on the brain, caused by excessive drinking. The jury returned a verdict of death from effusion oh the brain arising from excessive drinking. The same coroner held a second inquest on the body of Hugh Bordner, aged 45 years. Deceased was a bootmaker, residing at 2, Spencer-road, Hornsey New Town. On the 3d of March his wife died, and since that time ho had sot been sober, On last Satur day evening he was fennel lying on the floor of his room insensible, and his head covered with blood. Ho had fallen from the top to the bottom of the staircase while drunk. He was conveyed in a cab to the London Hospital, where be expired on Wednesday last. Mr. Hughes, surgeon, said that the deceased died from delirium tremens brought on by excessive drinking. Verdict, "Death from delirium tremens, brought on by excessive drinking." THE STEAM RAMS.—On Friday the corpmission. to examine the Pasha of Egypt, in the case of the Attor ney-General v. Laird and Others, was despatched to Cairo. Sir Laurence Palk has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons, on the re-assembling of Parliament on the subject. A MARRIAGE WITHOUT A MINISTER.—At Glas gow, on Monday, says the North British Mail, a long-betrothed couple intended being joined together in the " holy bonds," but at the last hour found themselves em barrassed by the fact that the bridegroom had not resided the legal period in this country. He had, ignorant of the requirements of the Scotch law, left England last week, and arrived at Glasgow, anticipating no difficulty in the way of being at once married. The want of domicile qualification appeared, however, an insurmountable barrier, and business preventing a long stay in the country he seemed likely to the perplexed re turn to England alone, a sadder and a wiser man. A lawyer was applied to, as being the most likely person to salve the eilemma arising from the law; and though, as Shakspeare says, "marriage a matter of more worth than to be dealt in by attorneyship," everything on the occasion.. The friends of the bride groom found that the assistance of a shrewd l awyer was accompanied bride and bridegroom having assembled at the dining ,dnly attested accredited, h y the confirmedholholy ciclose byo lips u t a u n a a l h by all m of r. th l e v ß . ed m. f . or vir d a w t r n it o e o r n ;w th as e bride, introduced, and the affianced parties having been arranged, the exchange of ma trimoniale bands, joinder of their consent strengthened by the interchange of rings. The narrative of this ceremony was then serve d b efore witnesses , an d t h e par ties and witnesses then proceeded to the County Build ings to wait upon Sir A. Alison. The sheriff at the time was deeply engaged in the decision of a case of great imP or. fence, but on Mr. - Wil son ' s exp l a i n i ng th e p ecu li ar circum stances of the occasion, and on seeing the bride, who was gifted with a more than ordinary power of beauty, looking all the more e ngag i ng f rom th e na tural timidity ar i s ing from her unusual position, he gallantly consented. The previous contract of marriage having been formally attested by two witnesses, Sir Archibald, by sign manual, certified the fact, and that the registrar of the Blyswood district was entitled to register them as married persons accordingly. The mar ried couple with their friends thereupon proceeded to the office of Mr. Struthers, and having been duly registered, shortly afterwards started for London.

A public announcement, offering a reward of £3O, was test week put in circulation at Woolwich and elsewhere by she authorities of the War Department for the apprehension of a recruiting sergeant named James S tundcrs, who has been employed in that garrison, it is stated, for many years, end who, it now appears, has succeeded in realising some thousands of pounds, by means of perjury and false attes tations. It was his duty to enlist and receive recruits from other depots, and to carry out the preliminaries for their being sworn in. On the production of the attestation papers bearing the signatures of the local magistrate, the majority of which, it has been prayed, were forged, he was entitled to a bounty of 15s. Considerable sums of money, it ap pears, were likewise 'paid over to him, under a ctaira for rations and pay due to recruits not in exi-teace. Cennel Wodehouse, who has recently succeeded to the command of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, at Woolwich, having received informatim which induced him to suspect the sergeant's probity, he was ordered to the guard room, and was placed in charge of Sergeant Harvey, recently reduced from the grade of sergeant-major for in subordination and breach of discipline. At roll call the delinquent managed to make his escape from the custody of his guard, and has not since been heard of. The circum stances of his escape are suspicious, and Sergeant Harvey has now taken his place under arrest. Other persons, it is feared, under authority in the garrison, are implicated.

The Arab fisherman Kiritli Mustapha, who was condemned some time ago for the murder of a Zaptieh, at Kalatat Yeri, was hanged at the Bridge ; and at the same time the gar dener Ibrahim suffered the last penalty of the law in a similar manner at Scutari fur the assassination of the Tur kish woman, Ewire.—A letter from Anapa informs ns that the Governor, Zia Bey, is busily occupied providing localities for a body of 6,000 Circassian immigrants who have recently come to establish themselves there.—The recsntfine weather has completely broken up the last remnants of ice on the Danube, and the navigation of that river is now quite free.—We learn from Salonica that the produce of the cot ton crop will probably amount to 100,000 bales of 50 ekes each. About two-thirds of this quantity has been already exported. The import trade in this city during the past year has been also very active. The customhouse receipts for the past year amount to 15 millions of piastres.—We have intelligence from Trebisonde of painful interest.

AltholLli the system of joint-stook banking has been esta blished to meet the tyquire cents of most departmeats of trade, it has rot been introduced for the business of the agri cultural and eittle markets of the metropolis; and hough the population has doubled within the last 25 years, and, con sequ ntly, the necessary quantity of supp Les, yet the whole business, amounting to 15 to 2 millions per annum, is left in the ha da of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provi 'e increased facili ties for this tr de by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Cattle Market ; and subsequently, should it be t ound desrable, by opening branches in the agricultural districts. 'I he value of t e rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a knowledge that the method in which dealings are c ,rried on at the Cattle Market consti utes the Bank the depository of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the produ er. The Metropolitan Meat or Poultry Market in in Smithfield, now In course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the Act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other mar kets for meat in the metropolis. To thia market will be con , centrated all transactions for the supply of butchers' meat. poultry, and other produce to the inhabitants of the metro polis and a circle of t 4 miles round it. . _ The Direct orsh;vitig 7 coartned the provjsional agreement for the purchase of the lucrative business of-Messrs. Challis and Son, the advantage of commencing upon an established connecti di, under competent and experienced n anazement, will be secured to shareholders from the commorem , nt of business, by whic't the dire•tors are warranted in expecting that they will be enabled to declare a dividend during the first y ar. Th t the number of Joint-stook banks may be advan t4geously increased (more particularly under special cir cumstance , such as have led to the formation of the Albion Bank), is demonstrated by the fact that, so late as six years ago, when the number of joint-stock banks in London was not more than six, their total deposits did not exceed £2 ‘,00,000 ; whle, now that the number of these banks has bean doubled, the joint deposits are alr. ady more than trebled, amount 11(2; to a total of X 71,792,309. The dividends of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per cent., in accordance with the da es of their establishment : and the premiums on their shares are rem 2. oto3' 0 p r cent in a precisely similar ratio. The deposits and dividends of the joint-stoc banks renew ly formed show a rapid pro gress towards identical results. Should no allotment take place, the deposits will be re turned in full. Should a less , umber o' shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available to wards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned t., the a plicant.
